5 Supplement Myths: Debunked

11th Oct 2023

How do I tell what's true and what isn't?

There are many common misconceptions about supplements available in the market and with so much information shared on the internet, it is hard to believe everything you read and one doubts its authenticity.

Let's debunk a few myths to help you make informed decisions about the supplements you choose to consume as part of your healthy lifestyle.

Myth #1: Supplements are only beneficial for the elderly or someone with a health condition

Supplements have a broad range of benefits for healthy adults of any age. They can help manage and maintain certain health conditions from worsening but can also improve overall well-being by helping boost the immune system. It is important to check what your needs are and choose a suitable supplement that benefits your nutritional needs and lifestyle choices. If you are looking to improve your cardiovascular health and overall well-being, try NMN Powder which contains the active ingredient nicotinamide mononucleotide. NMN is a naturally occurring molecule in the body and is a precursor to NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), a coenzyme that plays an important role in energy metabolism and cellular function.

Myth #2: All supplements go through clinical trials

Xandro’s supplements take pride in being a supplement range of high-quality, non-GMO & specialized science-led nutrition. Our supplements undergo multiple clinical trials to ensure they do what they claim.

Myth #3: It’s too confusing to choose what nutritional supplement is right for me

It can be confusing to select what nutritional supplement is right for your needs. At Xandro, we make this process easier. Try making a list of the areas that you would like to focus on. For example, if you are looking to improve your overall cellular health or heart health and want to age healthier, you can try our other supplements.

Myth #4: You can take supplements alongside any medication

If you are pregnant or nursing or have a known medical condition and have been using other medication prescribed by your doctor it is important to consult a physician before using any nutrition supplements. Some supplements may interact with your medications, so it’s best to speak to a healthcare professional. This statement has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. Our products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Myth #5: Taking supplements alone can help boost your immunity system

Supplements alone can’t help boost your immunity. Supplements should be integrated into your daily life alongside a combination of a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Having a diet that incorporates healthy fats, minerals, proteins, and carbohydrates ensures you meet the daily food requirements for the human body. It is recommended that the average adult needs 30 minutes of physical activity a day to maintain a healthy lifestyle and remove the risk of developing ongoing health issues. We believe true wellness comes from a good diet and regular exercise, this can help the body and mind perform at their best.

We understand that too much information can be overwhelming and confusing. If you are looking for a supplement for your nutritional needs, remember to first understand what nutrition your body needs, what are your health goals and if you have any underlying health conditions. After keeping in mind the above few points, choose a product that suits your needs and lifestyle. You can also consult a health professional for further advice.
